Make all AI features optional, and opt-out by default.
For any features on Twitch which use AI, allow all creators to opt in or opt out of them individually, and set the default to Opt Out for all new AI features. We as creators should have the choice whether to use AI or not on our channels. If we do not want to use it at all, it's important for us to be able to have that choice, AND for us not to be opted in by default.

Hey Twitch you might think you have a stranglehold on the market, but I promise you. I and many many others will simple leave if you put generative AI anywhere in your business model. The AI chat summaries are bad as is. What you're proposing here will ruin what remains of the good of Twitch. All for a little more cash. The stone you're trying to squeeze for blood is the Earth and the people on it. Stop it.

To Twitch Staff: To propose any AI training possibilities from the hard working creators' content on Twitch has to be one of the most tonedeaf decisions the platform has taken in years. This isn't going to fly. You're gonna lose the human factor that made this website even be a thing in the first place. We have more options now than ever, don't think we're going to shut it and stay if you force that trash tech to steal our likeliness, voice, and talents.

I do not support Generative AI in any way, shape, or form, and I do not want it being trained off of my videos and streams. I put in a lot of effort to make content, and I do not need competition in the form of sloppy rip offs that someone else can mass produce.

Not only should we be able to not use AI at all, the most important part is that our streams shouldn't be used to train AI without our explicit permission! And this doesn't mean you should add it to the terms and conditions to force us to agree: you should, again, give us a choice to be able to keep using your platform without having anything to do with generative AI. Otherwise, just like how people migrated to Twitch when Youtube started doing dumb stuff, people will now move away from Twitch.

I do not stream so that my voice, mannerisms and content can in any way be scraped for generative AI. Nor do i support the same thing done for the content of any and all streamers and their streams. Nobody asked for this, nobody wants this.
If you do go ahead with this insanely stupid idea, Opt Out MUST be on by default

None of us asked for this. We don't want this. Stop shoving AI where we don't want or need it.

Whoever at amazon suggested this? They should be fired. Nobody wants GenAI except for the companies making it, and scammers. It's trash technology, and your streamers will nuke their channels rather than let you use them for this.

...How many times do I have to come back here and remind that taking the creator out of the creative process will only increase the hollow shell your overlords are so eager to shoehorn?
Like... let's think for a second, who either you or Amazon are selling this to if you're taking the vendor and therefore the buyer out of the equation? Ever thought about that?
Also good luck with brand accounts, I fully expect them to lawyer up if their image/mascot gets (and it will) misused in such a woefully misguided endeavor.

We do not support the content of our favorite creatives being scraped for generative AI.

What kind of usable data do you even think you're gonna get from this? MonkaS spam frequency graphs? Not only is this stupid and annoying and everyone hates it, you're just going to waste your money.

If you implement this garbage on twitch, never, EVER expect anyone to believe for a moment that you care about what your users say, or that you care about anyone on the planet.
Get ****** for even considering using generative AI on your site.

I stopped streaming because I knew this would happen. I do not want my art, other's art, or any of my likeness to be used to train ai.

Please make this at least an optional setting that we can turn off.
No one wants this, and having it be mandatory will force people away as we dont want our content scraped -

Generative AI is a blight on society and the creative soul. I do not consent on having AI models being trained of my hard work and time.

Pushing AI onto streams without a default opt-out option is just taking the choice away from the streamers. Since many people do not support AI, using it on streams can be a deterrent and even cause damage to those that rely on streaming. AI does not replace entertainers nor does it replace viewers. Considering all of the news in media lately about bad things happening with AI, let alone the fact that it is being abused to produce lower quality content this is a very bad idea.
This will be a costly mistake and could even cause Twitch to lose not just support from their streamers, but also viewers. Please think about the consequences before supporting this.
AI DOES NOT REPLACE PEOPLE.
